This is our first time ever in La Veta, Colorado and it's truly a quaint, super nice place. Getting here from the west was a little confusing because of a couple Dead End signs posted but aren't quite true. The office person was Jim, who is a US AIR FORCE veteran and was very helpful. The entire amenity areas are meticulously cared for by owner Shana and she has tons of flowers and beautiful gardens as well as grassy areas. I'm very impressed!!

We only stayed one night, on our way to our home base for the rest of our motorcycle touring trip; however, we are very likely to return and use Pennington Place as home base for our next trip to the beautiful Rocky Mountains. The property is gated and passcode protected. It felt very safe and secure. We stayed in the Sevilla Marie room at Pennington Place (all of their rooms are named after Donna and Rich's parents, which I thought was a nice touch--and decorated in a way that honors the namesake. How cool is that?) Our room was very clean, the bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion. The shower had good water pressure and our room had a small kitchenette. Had we stayed longer, we may have used that more, but for just overnight, we didn't really need it. And oh the bed--very, very comfortable. And the pillows were just right--not too puffy, not too thin. And right out the window is a beautiful view of Spanish Peaks. Donna asked what our evening plans were and we said we were going to go into town to have dinner. She had a recommendation for us and we told her we would try it. Without even being asked, she called La Plaza for us and asked if we needed a reservation. They said that would be safe and so she reserved us a table. Little did she know, it was our anniversary. And the food was great--we highly recommend it if you are staying in Walsenburg. We also were lucky enough to join two other couples for Donna's full breakfast the next morning. It was nice to sit around a table--so few of us do that these days--and visit with new friends over Donna's delicious food. She served a savory egg dish, garnished with avocado and salsa. She also provided a cinnamon sugar muffin and a fruit and yogurt parfait. We drank juice and water, but she also offered coffee--just no takers this morning. If you are coming to Colorado and passing through Walsenburg, this is a no-brainer. Stay here. And if you haven't ever considered Walsenburg as a peaceful, quiet, serene getaway....do yourself a favor and come meet Rich and Donna and see their beautiful location. The property has quite a story, but I've typed too much already. And besides, it's a better story coming from them! Go see them! And take some friends...Pennington Place would be a great place for a group of 6-8 people just wanting to get away from the rat race!

This weekend we decided to venture in to the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the…read moreSan Isabel National Forest to enjoy the wildflowers and try our hand at fishing. The headwaters of the rainbow trout-stocked Purgatoire River run through Purgatoire Campground and we were lucky enough to pitch our tents just a few paces from it this weekend; the crashing and tumbling water providing a surprisingly perfect "white noise" each night for slumber. The area surrounding the river is absolutely stunning with wildflowers and dense aspen and conifer growth everywhere. And, as is usually the case, it isn't until after we experience a place such as this that I become curious about its history. This weekend was no exception. Just 30 minutes of research this morning revealed an intriguing irony: the attraction and abundant life that characterizes the Purgatoire River is shrouded in historical mystery, hardship, and death: "It was once thought that Spanish explorers, namely a party led by Francisco Leyva de Bonilla in 1593, were the first to visit the Purgatoire River in the sixteenth century. An attack by Native Americans killed all but one of the Bonilla party at some point after it left New Mexico and reached the Great Plains. The attack was initially thought to have occurred on the Purgatoire; the river was so named because of the unblessed Catholic souls that were allegedly sent to el purgatorio--purgatory--along its banks. The name stuck (its current version is French), but the river may be named for the souls of men who never reached it--the location of the Bonilla expedition's demise remains uncertain." (Ref: https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/las-animas-county) At any rate, it is well worth the 2-1/2 hour drive from Colorado Springs to visit this alluring area and imagine what it was like before paved roads, iPhones, and grocery stores. To get there: Purgatoire Campground GPS coordinates are: (Latitude, Longitude): 37.2525, -105.10917 37°15'9"N, 105°6'33"W From La Veta, Colorado, take State Route 12 south for 25.3 miles to Purgatoire campground sign. Turn right onto gravel Route 34. Go 0.2 miles to "T" intersection. Turn right and drive 4 miles on rough gravel road to campground. The campground is very clean and monitored by camp hosts, Helga and Larry. I recommend Site 4, in particular, because it sits on the river and is sandwiched in between just one other campsite to the right and open space and the 5-mile North Fork Trail trailhead to the left.
